That is not a problem, though, and the only change is that the first year would have a full 82-game schedule instead of a shorter one. As you know, I’m using the free-to-play BasketballGM to simulate these alternate universes I’m writing about, and the game doesn’t know a thing about the lockout happening at the start of that campaign. The only change I made was setting Derrick Rose to have a high “endurance” rating, which means he would be less prone to injuries-if at all. We only have to hit the rewind button and set ourselves at the start of the shortened 2011-12 season. This scenario comes with a fairly simple setup. What if Rose hadn’t had the bad luck of falling injured in 2012? What if Rose’s body was made of steel instead of glass? I would have loved to saw that universe unfold, and that is why I simulated it. Rose was an absolute freak, he was dominating the league by just his fourth season as a pro, and those Bulls were built to contend for many years (they reached the ECF in 2011, falling 1-4 to Miami). It sucks, but Rose was never the same we had come to know since he entered the league in the fall of 2008 and played until that 2012 playoff game, winning both Rookie of the Year (2009) and MVP (2011) awards in that span.
It is not that I am a Bulls fan, but I don’t think I will ever get over the fact that I-and every single NBA and basketball fan for that matter-was stolen a potentially full injury-free career from Derrick Rose. 22 that same year, in his 10th game back, Rose re-injured himself this time suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee. That was a year-and-a-half absence from basketball courts, a lengthy recovery, and also one that would help him stay active for under a month. Not only had we lost Rose for the 2012 postseason, but we had also lost him until he made his comeback more than a year later on Oct. We didn’t know at that moment, but just a few hours later we would all be lamenting Rose’s ACL. Marv Albert described it as best as he could while Rose dropped himself to the ground in grimacing pain, clearly knowing something wrong had happened at the knee’s height on his left leg. Rose set both feet on the ground but instantly felt it. He reached the free-throw line, made a quick jump forward holding the ball with his two hands trying to fool big-man Spencer Hawes inside the paint, and upon landing back on the floor the worst possible of nightmares became a reality. There was no real threat of losing the game, and with 14 seconds left on the possession-clock Bulls’ point guard Derrick Rose used a screen from Joakim Noah near mid-court to launch a run toward the basket. The game’s outcome was pretty much determined by then, with the Bulls leading by 12, 99-87. The quarter was the fourth, and there were under two minutes left to play. Those belonged to the narration of a basketball match in which the Chicago Bulls were facing the Philadelphia 76ers at home. I don’t think I will ever forget the words Marv Albert came up with at the end of April 2012. The way Jimmy Butler and Jokim Noah developed the Bulls probably missed out on a championship due to Rose’s injuries.Holding onto his knee, holding onto his knee and down. He was a superstar at 22 in one of the biggest markets. The guy said a few years ago his one wish was to be able to walk during his kids wedding, it’s really sad what happened to him. To his benefit, he was always hurt every offseason whether he was recovering from a knee injury or his broken face, he couldn’t really develop, he was more focused on getting back to what he was. It’s hard to say what he could have became because he wasn’t a jump shooter and the way the league goes now his explosion would have only gotten him so far as he got older. Bulls had to move on from him and he was gonna retire after his stint with the Cavs and another injury but now he’s found a new career as a sixth man who can put up a bunch of points. Great player with a lot of potential who’s career was demolished by countless knee injuries. I’m sorry but blows my mind you called yourself a basketball fan and never heard of Rose. How did you start following basketball in 2015 and not hear about Rose till 18? His last year in Chicago he was pretty good and went to the second round with the Bulls where he hit a buzzer beater vs the Cavaliers that was replayed 1,000 times that year.
